Zhovti Vody (Ukrainian: Жовті Води [ˈʒɔu̯tʲi ˈwɔdɪ]; Russian: Жёлтые Воды [ˈʐoltɨjə ˈvodɨ]; lit. ''Yellow Waters'') is a town in south-central Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (province). Administratively, it is incorporated within Zhovti Vody municipality as a town of oblast significance, the status equivalent to that of a raion (district). Zhovti Vody is located on the Yellow River (Ukrainian: Річка Жовта) approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of the oblast's administrative center, Dnipro. Population: 43,591 (2020 est.)[1].

It is a center for the extraction and processing of uranium ore.

The historic Battle of Zhovti Vody was fought on the site of the present-day city.

The area has been referred to by the term Zhovti Vody (literally "yellow waters") since before the founding of the first village on the site in 1895.
